Well I assume this thread is looking for things that are "outrageous" but also genuinely believed to be true. If I can easily defeat your belief with an argument is it true?

I came here interested in seeing outrageous beliefs and arguments that validate their beliefs enough for deeper examination.

I do not feel defeated, nor that I no longer believe what I wrote.

What I was trying to agree with is that if you step back and look at the good things, life doesn't seem so bad.

But at the same time, I still feel like -society- is crumbling. In the US, because I don't experience life in other countries.
